Hi. I see in a recent addition to Wei Dai you included material the Bitcoin wiki, which is released under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 (Unported) (CC-BY-SA 3.0) Licence. That's okay, but you have to give attribution so that our readers are made aware that you copied the prose rather than wrote it yourself. I've added the attribution for this particular instance. Please make sure that you follow this legal requirement when copying from compatibly-licensed material in the future. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 12:17, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks for help, Diannaa! I actually included that information in both talk page and the comment of primary article, whats the best way to do it? Xinbenlv ( talk) 21:55, 21 March 2018 (UTC) reply
Diannaa, I just realized I didn't trigger the mention. Xinbenlv ( talk) 15:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply
A comment on the talk page is optional. You should mention the license in your edit summary and place attribution in the article itself like I did here. — Diannaa 🍁 ( talk) 22:24, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply
Got it. Will do the same next time. Thanks for the guidance. Xinbenlv ( talk) 22:45, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Notice

The article ZaiGeZaiGu Community has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a notable organization. Running a single Chinese New Year Gala doesn't make the group notable, and the coverage appears to be WP:MILL coverage of that event, not the group running it.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. power~enwiki ( π, ν) 20:48, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks, power~enwiki for the efforts of cleaning and educating me. I left a message on the Talk page of ZaiGeZaiGu Community in defending the challenge believing the article's current state satisfies Notability. Please let me know if you would advice otherwise. Also, help me with your guidance how to request for halting the Speedy deletion? Xinbenlv ( talk) 21:18, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply
I seconded the PROD. This is not speedy, if you think it meet feel free to remove our tags and then we will take it to WP:AFD. See my comments there -- Quek157 ( talk) 21:20, 24 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Thanks @ Quek157 for suggestions. I am still practicing starting subs. I added some of the Wikipedia links and thus I removed the deadend template. It was challenging for me to determine other categories to apply. Feel free to suggest more categories. I will keep the categories template as-is for now until I learnt the best way to determine categories and come back to update it. Xinbenlv ( talk) 13:51, 27 May 2018 (UTC) reply
some people will monitor the templates I'm sure. so no worries. focus attention to get more sources on this than that afd to escape someone trigger friendly afd this also. Based on my experience, that seems like a delete already Quek157 ( talk) 13:55, 27 May 2018 (UTC) reply

Recommended reading for the WikiProject is as follows:

A list of tasks can be found here, but it has not been updated for about a year. I would suggest reading currency articles until you find one you would like to improve. You could also create an article for the project. - ZLEA T\ C 23:23, 3 June 2019 (UTC) reply

@ ZLEA:, I plan to focus my efforts on articles related to the emergence of Euro, including all kinds of previous organizations and treaties that lead to the birth of it. Xinbenlv ( talk) 18:07, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply
A good place to start would be History of the euro. - ZLEA T\ C 19:10, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Xinbenlv To add a link to a category without adding the page to said category, you add a colon (:) to the link after the first brackets ([[:Category:Euro]] links to Category:Euro). You do the same thing to link to an image ([[:File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg]] links to File:Wikipedia-logo-v2-en.svg). The colon doesn't show in the text. - ZLEA T\ C 22:35, 4 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Please stop editing my drafts in my userspace. It is not finished and what looks like errors to you are abbreviations for future content. You look pretty great on your other editing activities and I hope to see you around making improvements. Best Regards, Barbara 12:43, 30 June 2019 (UTC) reply

Wikiloop

Hey there. Am of course looking forward to seeing how your Wikiloop Battlefield project comes along, but I wanted to point out that you might get quite a few incorrect results as the user's edit summary is currently hidden in Wikiloop's user interface. Edit summaries often contain an explanation for why an edit was made, so it's not really possible to decide if reverting is the right action.

The tool's edit summary is also a bit off at the moment (containing "vundefined"), maybe it could be changed to a more descriptive "Identified as test/vandalism using [[m:WikiLoop Battlefield|WikiLoop]]"?

Again, hope to be able to see your finished project soon, -- 83.240.234.220 ( talk) 02:42, 9 July 2019 (UTC) reply

Thank you very much. vundefined is a bug, it should be something like v1.0.0-alpha-4 etc. I will update the comment and also display summary. Thank you for suggestion! (I can't ping you because you didn't login, hopefully you will see it.) Xinbenlv ( talk) 04:44, 9 July 2019 (UTC) reply
I have taken down your suggestion and put into issue tracker, should be rolled out next release. Thanks again for reaching out! Xinbenlv ( talk) 01:58, 10 July 2019 (UTC) reply
@ 83.240.234.220:, update after your report:
  • Edit summary is now displayed

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
